Editorial Review:

Susannah Harker reads Sleep-overs in this unabridged two-cassette pack.
New-girl-in-school Daisy faces up to familiar childhood dilemmas in this great story for younger readers written by the acclaimed, bestselling author Jacqueline Wilson. Daisy is finding her feet with a new group of friends, slowly becoming "one of the gang" who take it in turns to have sleep-over parties. But with her own turn to play host fast approaching, Daisy is faced with the task of telling her new friends about her mentally and physically disabled older sister, and she is unsure how they will react. The spoilt Chloe, with her snide bullying tactics, presents a particular problem: she has been reluctant to let Daisy into the group, and this could give her just the excuse she needs...
As ever, Wilson combines superlative, on-the-nose storytelling with an intuitive accuracy that captures the essence of familiar childhood insecurities. Readers will laugh, cry and cringe their way through this outstanding tale as Wilson's trademark heroine wins the day. Sleep-overs is a cracking story for children aged seven and over.

Running time is two hours. --Susan Harrison

Sleepovers (2/2 people found this helpful)

I think that this book is suitable for any child that can read confidently. Jacqueline Wilson is my favourite author and I really enjoyed Sleepovers. It is funny at the end when Chloe gets embarrassed. I was happy when Amy, Bella, Daisy and Emily got their own back on Chloe.

Please read this book because it is very good and I have read it many times.

Chloe is the rudest and the worst (4/4 people found this helpful)

I think this book is suitable for 7+ years olds. It's about a girl called Daisy who starts a new school.

A group of girls called Amy, Bella, Chloe, Daisy and Emily form The Alphabet Club. They all have sleepover parties for their birthdays. But Daisy is afraid that she will be teased about her sister who has learning difficulties. I really didn't like Chloe because she is a big bully and very spoilt. The strange thing is that she only bullies Daisy and calls her Daisy-Diddums, which is when her friend, Emily realises how unkind she is.

The moral of the story is that is it good to always stand up against bullies and support your friends.

Shining thriller!!! (3/3 people found this helpful)

This fab and fantastic book is a delight in every page.I just love the bit where Chloe(a spoilt and rich bully ho always get away with murder)wet her pants in the middle of the night right in front of Daisy(a kind, friendly person who gets bullied by Chloe)!
In some bits its hilariously funny, and in other bits its just a pleasure to read.
The book is about girls who formed a secret club. And the main character, Daisy, has a disabled sister who has special needs and can't talk or walk.
I'll recommened this book for 8-11. I promise you that if you buy it you'll have no regrets whatsoever.

Sleeping over (3/4 people found this helpful)

This book is about a group of 5 friends: Chloe, Amy, Bella, Emily and Daisy. Daisy doesn't have a best friend but she would like Emily as a best friend and Emily wants Daisy as a best friend but as long as Chloe, the BOSS, has Emily as her best friend, Daisy has to go without a best friend. But Daisy has a secret, her big sister, Lily, is handicapped. Daisy is afraid when the all her friends start inviting each other to their sleepover birthday party with nobody left out. What is she going to do?

Super Sleepover! (4/7 people found this helpful)

This book is really good and i can relate to(sorry, I read this ages ago) the main character when she is being bullyed by Samamtha (Only name I remember!). The ending is brilliant! The book represents karma-if you do bad things to someone else, you will be able to see how it feels! Jackie did a fantastic job turning sleepovers in to a bigger, meanigful matter.
